This year marked the 40^th anniversary of the Festival of Trees and Lights. We were pleased to work with RDG Planning & Design who partnered with Child Life at Blank Childrens' Hospital to create a special celebration festival tree.

All the decorations on the tree were custom-made—from ribbons with the children’s drawings to ornaments with the drawings on one side and the festival logos on the other. The drawings were done by patients of the iconic Blank Hospital façade and their logo “the Star Child Cube” which tops that wing of the hospital. 

Beeline's artisans were tapped to create the acrylic “star Child Cube” tree topper and lighted logo display piece.

This tree and the lighted logo display piece that accompanies it will also be featured at Festivals to come.

There's an author in the hive

That upbeat voice you hear when you call Beeline and Blue is probably Timmeri Reeves. Timmeri joined Beeline in 2021 and has become an important part of our team.

Timmeri grew up in Iowa before moving to Brazil, where she worked on a church mission for a year. After that adventure, she moved to Utah and met her husband before returning to Iowa. She and her husband now call Des Moines home, along with their daughter and two dogs.

Two fun facts about Timmeri:

1. She is fluent in English and Portuguese (and so is half her family)!
2. She is a published author of a new thriller.

Timmeri's novel, What Doesn't Kill You, became available through Amazon in April as hard-cover and paperback. She's currently working on a follow-up that she promises will be just as much of a page-turner. We're proud of her accomplishment. You can see the book yourself at the link below.
